Dinner and Dessert with a Twist, Day Two

Yesterday I shared a recipe for homemade Crunchwraps – yum!  Isn’t it great when you can make restaurant food at home?  ~smile~

Today I am going to show you how to (as Emeril would say) “kick it up a notch” with your grilled cheese sandwiches!

Who needs to make grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner when you can make Grilled Sloppy Joe Sandwiches?!!

My family really enjoyed these.
